Action needed on the House 9/11 bill

Some congressmen are trying to gut the House 9/11 bill of its most vital provisions: ending driver's licenses for illegal aliens and preventing the acceptance of foreign ID cards that the FBI and the DOJ call a security threat. Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers had a combined total of 63 separate drivers licenses issued by Virginia, Florida and New Jersey.

There are three amendments under consideration that would remove those vital provisions, and you can quickly send free FAXes opposing those amendments here.

That page also has a phone number you can use to call your representative. Please send the free FAXes and urge your representative to support H.R. 10 in its current version.

Information on this bill is here.

UPDATE: H.R. 10 has passed the house in its original form. But, now it goes to a committee who will try to iron out the differences between the two House and Senate 9/11 bills. So, please keep calling your representative and your senators and tell them to leave the immigration-related provisions in the final bill.

I called and stressed the driver's license and foreign ID card-related provisions. If they want to keep those but remove or weaken the deportation-related provisions, that's a compromise I would be willing to make.

I want no comprimose on this issue. They are pimps and whoring off taxpayers, and are basically traitors for not taking care of this situation years ago.

If only we had decent third party candidates by now or people would vote for people who are smart and decent citizens --who don't have the big bucks, we wouldn't even have to think of voting for any of them. People's apathy toward civic duties of maintaining this country, the ultraliberals in education and univs for thirty years, and trickle down greedy attitudes and gorging on consumer goods, etc. got Americans into this mess.
